I decided to try 96 kHz audio with the S.R.O. (Supermega Rumblic Organ), my slightly Aslan-like synth (it is not a tame device really), and found items which may be of interest: 1. At 96 kHz, schedtool definitely matters. Taking it out increased xruns a lot. I tried to figure out what was interfering via htop, but it was very unclear. So I'm keeping the schedtool for now. I could believe that if I reengineer for a zero-X default setup (likely to happen in the future) this problem might go away, X and the desktop certainly do have lots of demands. I *think* the only big piece missing for me in this is keymapping, I use F-keys to switch patches, quite easy in both LXDE and MATE.
thd .... otherwise known as trigger-happy-daemon ... does keymapping without X, debian package is: triggerhappy Description-en: global hotkey daemon for Linux Triggerhappy watches connected input devices for certain key presses or other input events and runs administrator-configured commands when they occur. Unlike other hotkey daemons, it runs as a persistent, systemwide service and therefore can be used even outside the context of a user or X11 session. . It can handle a wide variety of devices (keyboards, joysticks, wiimote, etc.), as long as they are presented by the kernel as generic input devices. No kernel patch is required. The daemon is a userspace program that polls the /dev/input/event? interfaces for incoming key, button and switch events. A single daemon can monitor multiple input devices and can dynamically add additional ones. Hotkey handlers can be assigned to dedicated (tagged) devices or globally. . For example, this package might be useful on a headless system to use input events generated by a remote control to control an mpd server, but can also be used to allow the adjustment of audio and network status on a notebook without relying on user specific configuration. . Key combinations are supported as well as the hotplugging of devices using a udev hotplug script; the running daemon can also be influenced by a client program, e.g. to temporarily pause the processing of events or switch to a different set of hotkey bindings.
